This meat was surprisingly flavorful and moist. I had some extra steak and really wanted to try it in the crockpot for a new and unique recipe. This dish is not hot or spicy and the flavors complement one another in a perfect way. You […]

February 23, 2021 Comments are Disabled

The very first lemon meringue pie that our oldest daughter ate was prepared by her lemon-loving grandmother. In their house, if something wasn’t made with mayonnaise, it was at least prepared with lemon. Oh. Wait. Isn’t there lemon in mayonnaise? That would be two for […]

Over the years I have made this recipe for simple white bread many times and it has never let me down. Growing up in Tennessee with an Amish village not far away I was always intrigued by their recipes. My family would often visit and […]

ROSEMARY LEMON GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN

February 22, 2021 1 comment

Roasted chickens are a God send. Can I get an amen? They make for a simple, nutritious and delicious meal with pretty much no cooking supervision and little preparation required. I enjoy meals that call for more involved preparation and cooking steps on days when […]

Even if you forget to put sugar in these muffins, people will eat them (I may have done that once). Though that may tempt you, don’t skip the sugar – there isn’t much and it makes a difference. Perhaps some people (who are not me) […]

HOMEMADE CHICAGO STYLE DEEP DISH PIZZA

February 22, 2021 6 comments

Alright, confession time. I’ve been to Chicago twice and both times I ate deep dish pizza until I thought I’d explode. Worth it. When I got home, I couldn’t stop thinking about that thick, buttery crust and all that melty cheese buried under a mountain […]

These simple lemon bars are slightly sweet and tart. Full of lemon flavor and sure to win your heart. We all probably have a recipe for lemon bars, or two or maybe even three recipes but these are the best I’ve ever made. Creamy Tart […]

Chicken Pot Pie

February 22, 2021 1 comment

As usual, I had chicken in the fridge and didn’t know what I would do with it. For once, I wanted something that would make leftovers. So chicken pot pie popped into my head. But I didn’t have any pie crusts. Ugh. However, I had […]

You can eat it with any side or cold the next day on a slice of toast. I’ve got my Meatloaf recipe from my grandpa (like probably many of you use a family recipe). He just made the best Meatloaf of all time. I’ve never […]

Sooooo, I have a confession to make. I’ve never cooked with brussels sprouts until this week. Crazy, I know. There has just always been something about them that not only didn’t make me want to cook with them, but I also really didn’t eat them. […]
